Add percent sign to form/report

Hello there, 

We have implemented a new form that contains a text box to enter the percentage completed. We were able to add a text box but are having trouble adding a percent sign to the textbox. 

The current work-around we have is to manually add the "%" to the textbox. However, I was curious if we would be able to edit the textbox so that it contains a percent sign. If this is not possible, could we add percent sign to the column in the reports?

Hello Taj,

Unfortunately there's no custom attribute type that allows for the percent sign to be added to an attribute's field automatically. Also, there is no way to inject the percent sign into a column as it is displayed in a report so each cell in the column shows as a number with a percent sign next to it.

You could name the attribute something indicative of what it's tracking though, like "GPA Percentage (%)" or whatever so it appears that way in your report to tell what the values in the column are.
